STATENENT OF SENA'roR MIKE MANSFIELD (D., MONTANA)
Mr. Presi dent:
As anticipated by the President, the talks in Vienna did not
produce any significant change in the situation at Berlin. Strip the
newspaper accounts of their sensationalism and one thing is clear: The
situation in Berlin is where it was in the fall of 1958. It is unchanged
despite the Geneva Conference of Foreign Ministers in 1959. It is un-changed
despite the friendly meeting at Camp David in 1959 and the furious
meeting in Paris in the aftermath of the U-2 incident . There were no
spirits at Vienna, only the hard facts exchanged without embellishment.
There was only a high degree of soberness coupled with the personal
courtesy of leaders, without which nations cannot hope to find a way to
peace, today, any better than when diplomacy first began.
In this sense the Vienna t~lks were useful . They swept away the
chaff. They revealed to both Mr. Khrushchev and Mr . Kennedy the hard kernel
of the problem. They revealed, too, that the problem confronts us in sub-stantially
the same form as it did when it first appeared more than two
years ago .
I suppose, Mr . President, we may regard the fact that the situa-tion
in Berlin is unchanged after two years, that the crisis has been post-poned
for two years, as some sort of achievement. In early 1959, a military
showdown appeared imminent to me, as it did to most observers, unless the
poli c i es and attitudes of a decade and a half would begin to change. The
showdown did not take place. It was forestalled by an almost continuous
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 41, Folder 17, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 2 -
round of sub-summit and summit conferences and visitings back and forth
and hither and yon. The crisis has stirred again from time to time during
the past two years bu~ it has not erupted. Because it has not does not
mean that it will not. If the present positions of the parties concerned
remain unchanged, sooner or later, this crisis postponed, this crisis
avoided will cease to lie dormant.
~fuat is involved at Berlin is not some obscure situation, distant
from our concern or the concern of the Soviet Union. Berlin is at the core
of these concerns. Berlin is the lever which may ease Europe towards a more
durable security or push the Western nations and the Soviet Union into a new
vortex of irrationality at whose center lies the graveyard of humanity.
In these circumstances, we owe it to ourselves to examine the
position which we have assumed with respect to Berlin. The leaders of the
Soviet Union are obligated to do the same. Both sides owe it to the people
of the world. The responsibility which we have, Mr. President, and which
the Soviet Union has, is not merely to reassert positions already assumed
and which are obviously irreconcilable. The responsibility is to seek to
determine whether or not there is a third way on Berlin which corresponds
more accurately to the needs of Germany today, Europe today and the world
today--indeed, a thi~d way which meets more fully the contemporary needs
of both the Soviet Union and ourselves.
vle can make this exploration only if we see clearly what the
present positions are and what they imply.
Together with Britain and France this nation is pledged to maintain
an allied presence in vlest Berlin and to defend the people of that
half-city. The other members of N.A.T.O. have endorsed this position.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 41, Folder 17, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 3 -
I do not think there is any misunderstanding of what we are
pledged to do, either at. home or abroad. Nevertheless, let us restate
the position to be certain that it is not misunderstood either at home
or abroad. Let us restate it without provocation, without bombast. Let
us restate it, as I am sure the President did at Vienna, in all soberness:
\-le ,.,ill not be driven, pushed or barred from fulfilling our responsibilities
to ourselves and to freedom in Berlin by any nation, half-nation,
S[OUP of nations or whatever. Such measures as may be necessary to assert
that responsibility will be taken.
This is what we say in the phrase: Stand firm at Berlin. The
full implications of these four words had better be understood in this
Senate, in this Congress and throughout the nation. They had better be
understood now. The range of this commitment extends from a 'beginning of
words of firmness, to a midpoint of expenditure of immense resources and
enormous taxes and other sacrificeG, to a final pledge of the lives and
fortunes of every man, woman and child in the nation. We are not engaged
at Berlin with the fast draw and wax bullets of television anymore than
the Russians are engaged in a harmless game of chess. In the last analysis
we are engaged now, as we have been at Berlin, with the whole future of the
United States. In this day and age and in this situation, the words, standing
nrm, carry no other than this ultj_mate implication.
I say this, Mr. President, with no desire to disturb the serenity
of the Senate. I say it only that we may be clear on the meaning of the
words we use. I say it in order that we may comprehend more accurately
the immense burden which rests on the shoulders of the President of the
United States. He will make the decisions and he must make them in this
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 41, Folder 17, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 4 -
awesome context. I trust and I am confident that those of us with public
responsibilities--in government and out and particularly the press and
other news media--will remain cognizant of this burden during the next
few months.
Let me set forth next, Mr. President, my understanding of the
position to which the Soviet Union adheres in the Berlin situation. It
is, so far as I am aware, unchanged as is ours, except in time-schedule
since it was first announced in November 1958. I should like to state
that position in substance, without se~sationalism and as objectively as
I can delineate it from the accounts which have appeared in the press.
The Soviet Union intends to withdraw from its vlorld War II occupational
re8ponsibilities in East Berlin and it insists that the Western powers
must do the same in vleet Berlin. It proposes to turn over East Berlin
to the East German authorities, presumably as part of a separate peace
treaty with the East German government. It offers to join in a guarantee
of a new status for West Berlin as a free city within that state. And if
I am not mistaken, Mr. ICarushchev has added to this position a further
contention that the Soviet Union will come to the military aid of the East
German authorities in the event that the Western powers refuse to accept
this change and continue to assert their present responsibilities in West
Berlin in opposition to the ''lishes of those authorities.
These two positions, then, form the substance of the Berlin
crisis now dormant but which, at any time, may become active. We insist,
in effect, on the continuance of the status quo in Berlin for the present
and, presumably until such time as Germany is unified. The Russians are
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 41, Folder 17, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 5 -
intent upon changing the status quo in a particular fashion in the near
futu~e, regardless of the eventual solution of the question of German unification.
I know that we intend to mai.ntain our position. I do not lightly
assume that the Soviet Premier does not mean what he says with respect to
the position of the Soviet Union, despite the postponements of the actual
act of Soviet withdrawal during the months and years since November 1959.
My own view of this situation, however, is not one which depends
on whether the Soviet Premier means what he says or does not mean what he
says. It is based upon my personal estimate of the changing situation in
Europe and. the 1.;orld and it is based upon what I believe to be the rational
interests of this nation in the light of those changes,
I have long questioned and I continue to question a status quo
which places us in the position, in effect, of pleading with or urging
the Russians not to withdraw their military forces from the Westernmost
point of penetration which they reached in Europe in the wake of World
War II; yet, our present position on Berlin requires that we do precisely
that. Further, Mr. PTesident, I do not think we can safeguard most effectively
our o·..m interests or advance the interests of peace when we
insist upon remaining directly under a communist sword of Damocles, as
is now the case in Berlin, if a rational alternative may be found to that
position through diplomacy. Further, Mr. President, I have long questioned
and I continue to question a position on Berlin which was assumed immediately
after World War II and has been maintained unchanged despite the enormous
changes which have occurred in both parts of Germany and in Europe since
that time. Finally, I question, as I have long questioned, a position
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 41, Folder 17, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 6 -
which, through subordinate irresponsibility, error or provocation on either
side invites the precipitation of a nuclear conflict.
We prove our courage. our steadfastness, our determination when
we insist, as insist we must with all that insistance implies, that we
shall not p~.:: mi t the Russians or anyone else to dictate unilaterally the
terms under which this nation and i~s allies shall discharge the responsibilities
which were assumed in Berlin in the wake of vTorld War II. We
~ould prove li-ttle more than the inertia of Western leadership, however,
if we insist that the status quo in Berlin is sacronsanct. We prove little
more than the sterility of our diplomacy if we insist that the status quo
at BerUn cannot be <:_banged even by mutual agreement leading to a new
sj_tuation, which is neither that which nm• exists nor the alternative
which the Soviet Union propou.r.. d s. It seems to~Mr. President, that if
w;e are to be not merely courageous but iutelligently courageous that is
precisely the course we must pursue , We must seek a third way in Berlin
which may better serve the j.nterests of all the parties concerneC.--of the
German people no less than other Eurc:..,~uns, of the Uni tee. States no less
than the Soviet U':lion and of that great stretch of the -vmrld with its
hundreds of millions of people to whom Berlin is but a name if it is even
I would not vrish to preclude, Mr. President, any proposals to
this end which may originate in any quarter. Indeed, it would be helpful,
in my opinion, if the Senate discussed this matter at length. I suggest,
moreover, that this discussion might profitably begin now before the
relatively dormant crisis in Berlin ccmes alive once again. We can think
now of its many implications with a measure of detachment and deliberation.
If we wait for the moment of h~at, it may be too late to think at all.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 41, Folder 17, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 7 -
I repeat, Mr. President, I do not wish to preclude any ideas or
proposals, regardless of their source, which may promise a rational solution
of the problem of Berlin. For my part, however, I believe that the
third way lies in an honest recognition of the fact that it is too late in
the ge.me to expect that Germany will be reunified in peace by fiat of the
United States, France, Great Britain and Soviet Russia as was expected 15
years ago. Yet, this assumption continues to underlie our position with
respect to Berlin. If the assumption is invalid, then the continued
garrisoning of Berlin by the forces of these four nations loses much of
its significance as a temporary occupational measure ~mich was ~11 it was
intended to be when these garrisons ~rere established a decade and a half
However, Berlin--not just West Berlin but all Berlin--d.oes not
lose its significance in terms of ultimate German unif~cation. Ber~in
remains the symbolic hope of that un~fication and I do not think it is
unreasonable to assume that it will one day again be the actual capital
of a unified Germany. It seems to me that the German people will have
the best opportu~ity to find the way to unification in peace and the outside
powers will make a significant contribution to the search, if they
will act now to r~move Berlin--all Berlin--from the clashes of the cold
war into which it has baen driven by the events of the post-war years.
If we must live, as it now seems likely, for an indefinite period 1v.Lth
a divided Germany, then, peace requi:-es that Berlin--all Berlin--be held
in peace and in trust until the day of unification. Its status must be
reconstituted so that Berlin wj_ll be the hope for peaceful German unification
rather than the prize for German unification by ot~er means which it
has now become .
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 41, Folder 17, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 3 -
This conversion of Berlin will not occur under Mr. Khrushchev's
proposal to turn only Hest Be:::-Hn into a free city. Even if the rights
of the Western ;preBence to that half-city were insu-red beyond a shaa.ow
of doubt, even if gue.rantees of the safety of the vlestern enclave were
inviolata, it ~oes not s~em to me that this arrangement would be satisfactory.
For it would reduce this enclave to a sleepy quasi-foreign
anachronism au_?. it would leave Berlin--symbolic Berlin, unifying Berlin,
Capital Berlin, German Berlin--in ~he hands of a militant German minority.
It would give an enormous and inadmissible amplification th-roughout
Germany to the present small voice of the East German minority government
at Pankow, It would invite German nationalism throughout Germany to adhere
to the German communist standard flyi~g in East Berlin. That is a handicap
which freedom cannot a~low. It is a concession which does not accord with
the need.s o:f:' ;peace ~!?- Ge-rmany or the essentials of ;peaceful com;peti tion
bet\-reen communism and freedom.
I do not believe, Mr. President, that the way to ;peace can be
found either in the maintenance of the status quo in Berlin or in the
change which 1'1.1!'. Khrushchev proposes. A third Vlay may lie in the creation
of a free c~ not in West Barlin alone but in the creation of a free city
which embraces all Berlin--the comm.;.mist east no less than the free western
segment of ~hat met:::-opolis. Let this whole city be held in trust and in
peace by some international autho~ity until such time as it is again the
capital of Germany. Let the routes of access to this whole city be garrisoned
by in.t ernational peace teams in the effective pattern of those
now operating between Israel a-r.d the Arab States. Let this interim status
of free city be guaranteed by the N.A.T.O. and Warsaw pa.ct cmmtries. Let
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 41, Folder 17, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 9 -
Bonn and Pankow s~bscrioe to this arrangement and pay its costs in appropriate
shares . Let these changes be incorporated in specific written
agreements. Then, perhaps, we may have the beginning of a durable peace
in Berlin and the healing of the cleavage in Germany and Europe.
I l~now, Mr. President, that to bring about this change in Berlin
after the division of that city has hardened over many years may seem an
immensely difficult, political and diplomatic undertaking. But is it not,
really, an infinitestimal task when compared with the full implications of
an essay in military solution with what comes after it?
I realize, too, Mr. President, that this approach may evoke no
response from~.fr. Khrushchev. But Cl.oes Mr. Khrushchev's reactions, whatever
they may be, dissolve us from our rational responsibilities to ourselves
and to the world in this situation? Do not those responsibilities
require us to explore fully and vigorously any and all avenues of peace
even as we steel ourselves for wha~ must come if the way to peace cannot
be found?
I makes these suggestions, Mr. President, as one Senator from
the State of Montana. I me.ke them in full recognition of the present
position of this government which, if it is unchanged, will be my personal
position when all the words are exhausted. I make them, however, in the
belief that this present position is not enough, even as the present
Soviet position is not enough. Our present position on Berlin, even unchallenged
by the Soviet Union, leads only in a circle endlessly repeated
as it continues to recede from the changing realities of Germany and Europe
until it now promises to become at best irrelevant and at worst a stimulus
to catastrophe. The Soviet position on Berlin, unchanged, in my opinion,
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 41, Folder 17, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 10 -
is also headed towards complete irrelevance unless before that point is
reached, it precipitates a military conflict by accident or design.
The implications of what I have tried to say to the Senate, then,
are clear. Sooner or later, the Western nations and the Soviet Union must
seek a new way, a third way to solution of the Berlin problem along the
lines which 1 have suggested or some other. Unless this search is pursued
with energy and dispatch and to fruition, sooner or later, Berlin is likely
to become the pivot of a new disaster for mankind.

Investigators say four to five students at Radnor High School are under investigation for their alleged roles in using the Internet to pass around cellphone video of two classmates reportedly engaged in a sex act. "There's pictures, there's possibly videos. We have yet to determine specifically how much information the smart phone contained," said Lt. Christopher Flanagan of the Radnor Police Department. Sources say a 16-year-old female student videotaped the sex act with another teenager on a cellphone, that was then stolen. There are allegations the video was distributed to other students. "We're also trying to investigate what information if any was decimated out to the Radnor Township school via Internet, social media, phone, texting," Flanagan explained. Investigators used search warrants to seize and examine the cellphones and computers of the students involved, looking for the video and any other evidence of the teenage scheme. An expert will then examine the phones. "We're not a 100 percent sure as to how much got out or even if any got out," he said. School officials refused to say if any disciplinary action has been taken yet. "Due to state and federal confidentiality provisions, we are not able to release any further comment at this time," said School District spokesman Michael Petitti. Reports of the high school video posting caught some on the Main Line by surprise. Several people said kids don't realize just how much trouble they can get in using their phones and the Internet. "Kids being kids, that's what happens, some kids gonna' do different things than others unfortunately made the wrong decisions," said John Bruce. "They're young kids, but what are you going to do?""You have to be smart with things. You can't do stuff like that and not expect other people to see it," said Jackie McLeod. Police say they hope to gather all of the evidence and present it to the Delaware County District Attorney's office sometime Friday. That office has experts on cyber crimes and Internet child pornography. It could involve several felonies.
Police are asking any student with concerns to tell a teacher or guidance counselor.
Police do not know how widespread this is at this time and they say there could be more than one victim.

Julian Assange
- Last year's rank: N/A
- See last year's list
Why he's No. 46
WikiLeaks -- a website that specializes in releasing top-secret information (usually of a political and/or incriminating nature) -- has often been referred to as one of the most intriguing figures on the planet. It's easy to see why. The little-seen guerrilla journalist and former hacker has become something of a cult figure, the embodiment of his ancient craft's most virtuous ideals, when investigative journalism meant more than going through Jennifer Aniston's trash bin.
It's also made him a lot of enemies. When his site released embarrassing recordings of U.S. soldiers mocking the dead, the Pentagon was not pleased and attempted to destroy his site, according to the man himself. Assange also claims to have swayed the Kenyan presidential election by exposing deep corruption at the highest level. Despite pissing off people in high places, Assange remains unfazed and committed to his noble ideals. His brand of internet activism is a refreshing antidote to sites like Perez Hilton's blog, where the posting of a slutty starlet's mug shot is considered a fait accompli. Speaking of which, when is Lindsay finally going to clean up her act? Sigh.

It's October 20, you look at the person next to you and the ground below you begins to shake. Is this an earthquake? What do you do? Chabot is participating in the Annual Great California Shake Out along with 7.8 million people across the state.
Frank Ramos, the manager of Emergency Preparedness and Workplace Safety for Chabot and Las Positas Colleges, has registered Chabot on www.shakeout.org to participate in Alameda County.
According to the website, the statewide drill is scheduled for 10:20 a.m., but Chabot will start its drill at 9:45 a.m. "I talked with the administrators and deans, and students are out at 10:20 so they can go to their next class. So they suggested we do it at 9:45, while students are in class, so [students] can really participate," Ramos said.
Per Ramos the AlertU system, which students can join by texting "Chabot" to 253788, uses our school media like the radio and television departments to send out messages on the air and on the campus televisions.
"The on-campus emergency phones students use to call campus safety also have speakers. Throughout the campus there will be messages saying, "This is a drill." Then we will evacuate the campus," Ramos said.
The staff is also prepared for an earthquake. "Most of the administrators, faculty, and staff have gone through the SEMS and NIMS training. The Standard Emergency Management System and the National Incident Management System classes are state and federal trainings on what to do. I teach preparedness classes on flex day and at orientations. We also have an emergency procedures handbook." Ramos said.
But what do we do? The website www.earthquakecountry.info says to drop, cover and hold on during an earthquake. The site also has great links for what to do in various locations, like if a quake hits when you are in bed or at a movie theater.

Two Hurt in Crash With Road EquipmentTwo people were injured Thursday in a traffic accident in which a vehicle hit a milling machine.
By: Herald Staff Reports, Grand Forks Herald
Two people were injured Thursday in a traffic accident in which a vehicle hit a milling machine.
The accident occurred on Marshall County Road 5, about three miles east of Stephen, Minn., at about 4:47 p.m.
Workers were preparing the milling machine, which was in the eastbound lane, when a westbound vehicle driven by Gene Anderson, 72, Strandquist, Minn., approached.
According to Minnesota State Patrol, a 1992 Chevy Kodiak, slowed and pulled to the right side of the lane to pass the machine. Another westbound vehicle, a 1978 Ford operated by Lamar Johnson, 79, Kennedy, Minn., passed Anderson and tried to travel between his vehicle and the machine.
The Johnson vehicle sideswiped the Chevy and collided head-on with the milling ma-chine, police said.
Johnson suffered non-life-threatening injuries, while Anderson was treated and released, according to the report.

I'm sure there probably already was a thread about and or like this but ah whatever ill proceed on regardless. But what I'm trying to say is that back a couple months ago when Mikey Walsh passed away (R.I.P) it made me realize when i listen to Weezer there was more than one bassist, sometimes I'm not really thinking about it, but to make a long story short who is your favorite bassist? Me personally I find it hard because I have massive respect for all three, but for some reason the bass-line in "Only Than Dreams" like brings me in or something so I'm kinda leaning toward Matt Sharp, but on the other hand I very much love Maladroit, so I'm torn. I think all Weezer fans respect the time each bassist has served, what each bassist has done for Weezer and the music they have made on whatever album, but who is your favorite bassist?
Views: 312
Mikey Walsh
"Only Than Dreams"
Scott Shiner
Mikey Welsh because he had such a good stage presence, his bass riff in "Island In The Sun" is the main reason why I love that song, he is great at doing falsetto, I love all the demos and b-sides that he has played on and he was just such a funny and nice person.
I prefer Mathew Sherp's bass line on "What Brother?".
Mikey Walsh
"Only Than Dreams"
the above two
Shatt Marp. All the way.
It doesn't matter all the songs are written by Rivers. I don't care who plays bass just as long as they know how to play bass
No. All the members matter because they add personality to the band and actually lend their talents to the studio recordings and live shows (obvs). Weezer, at least at its best, is a band in the truest sense. Every member adds something and aren't dispensable or easily replaceable. Yes, I'm sure Rivers would press on as Weezer even if Pat, Brian, and least importantly Scott went, but they started as a band and should end as a band. They aren't like a lot of modern bands who began as the bedroom project of the principal songwriter(s). Just my two cents.

personality... I've seen tons upon tons of interviews with these guys. they are all pretty bland (Pat has his funny moments). Besides, personality has nothing to do with how well you can play your instrument. unless the member has anything to do with the song itself. Weezer will always sound like Weezer as long as Rivers is still the writer.
You obviously haven't a clue about how being a band in the sense I'm referring to works.
obviously not seeing how weezer is on their third bassist and still famous.

For what this beer is; being low in alcohol and calories; it has a surprisingly amount of good flavour. This must be due to the fact that the beer is slow-brewed. I would drink this beer over any other light beer as it has more flavour and you can casually drink a few of these and still be drinking something with some flavour.

Cracked Canoe is a premium light lager that has a crisp, clean finish. It's light color and taste make it easy to drink. I sometimes add a lime to it and love drinking it on the boat in the summer time.
Give it a try if you like light tasting beer / low cal.

Cracked Canoe is a 3.5% ABV refreshing beverage with all of the taste of a 5% lager, but only 90 calories and less of the alcohol content. I enjoyed the CC I had at lunch the other day, because I was able to come back to work clear headed. I think the packaging is very tasteful, and the beer was easy to drink, and had the full flavour I like in a lager beer.

Tried this one at Jack's in Kingsville.
Crystal clear and pale yellow with fizzy bubbles and a thin collar of white foam. Weak aroma, some malt and grain, faint fruitiness, maybe a bit grassy. The flavour had some grainy sweetness, bitterness was quite low, and there were hints of fruity esters and spicy hops, but it all came off on the thin and watery side. Light bodied, carbonation was a little on the high side making it feel somewhat sharp rather than crisp. It really didn't have a lot of character, but it wasn't a disaster either.

Was at an Italian restaurant and they had this on tap. Curiosity got the best of me and I tried it. Pours as faint a yellow as you can get, completely see through. The head was pretty good though, some lacing too. Smell is so faint, but it smells like a typical lager almost. Very watery flavour. I didn't get any bad flavours at all. I can see this being refreshing, but so is water.

Light lagers are often light especially in regard to colour. Cracked Canoe, with its anemic complexion and pallid tone, is no exception. It appears to have been blanched to a point of acute brittleness, a ghastly and whitish beer that is paler than last year's straw and, with elated bubbles and a fine, spritzy froth, it strongly resembles a cheap sparkling wine.
The aroma, however, is all beer - not of a great one, mind you, but some kind of beer anyhow. While the scent of fresh-milled grain is perceptible, a spattering of cloying creamed corn smell ruffles the nasal passage like a stiff and foul sea breeze. Green bottles are usually cause for concern but, miraculously, this sample is free of any skunkiness.
Many light lagers taste contaminated enough to encourage a tetanus shot. Cracked Canoe isn't nearly so cringe-inducing but it does leave much to be desired. The flavour is entirely synthetic: it is of the same cloyingly sweet, corny, syrupy taste of soda-pop fame and without even a footnote reference to anything remotely toasty, grainy or wholesome.
By way of insinuating quality, brewers will often put 'premium' in the name. Seeing this word should raise flags: go to the grocery store and you'll notice it's always the processed foods that don health claims, not the natural ones that actually are nutritious. So too is the case with beer: it's typically the bad beers that need to boast about how good they are.
Cracked Canoe has not taught me anything new. I already suspected Moosehead - despite being the oldest (and last) Canadian- and family-owned big brewery - of being an operation more concerned with competing in the mass-market of industrially-produced swill, rather than crafting distinguished, integral products. This beer confirms it. Pass.

3.2/5 rDev +25.5%
look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 4
Appearance: Fairly standard lager gold, not as light as I'd expect it to be. Good carbonation in the body and it produced a finger of head that didn't lace and barely retained.
Smell: Average and if it weren't a light beer it would be scored lower. Straw like malt, a touch of earthy hops that comes off a bit mossy because of a slight undertone of skunk. Not bad, nothing great and stronger then most light beers.
Taste: Pretty much standard macro lager taste. Hay like malt with a touch of corn, that turns into a slight touch of earthy hops. Once again, not bad for a light beer, but nothing to write home about and it may come off as watery to some.
Mouthfeel: Well the carbonation is done well that the transitioning is smooth, but it does cloy a little bit too much. I'd give it 3.25 if I could, but it falls on the lower end of the scale, mainly because of my earlier generosity.
Drinkability: This beer fairs very well as a guzzler, and it's really designed for hot summer days. No issues getting it down, no issues with gas or bloating and refreshing in extreme.
Final Thoughts: Well, this one fared far better then I thought it would, and I did enjoy it more the Moosehead Light, mainly because it seems simpler and not just a watered down version of Moosehead. Still, there are many better beers out there, so save your money on this one.

I had this in a bottle a couple weeks ago, after carrying fourty twelve packs of them for a local arts establishment, I got it for free, but it costs about $12 for a 6-pack.
Appearance - it comes in a green bottle, black label with simple white imagery. In terms of packaging it seems very trendy and well-marketed, well-done but not my thing. It pours a very pale yellow colour, with a pure white head, reminiscent of vernor's, but even paler in colour. Not a beer I like, but it fits the style, so it gets a 3.
Smell - rather plain, not any bread-like smell like some other lagers I've had, but instead has some corny smell to it. also had very little yeasty smell to it. This also fits the style, so while not good it still gets a 3.
Taste - not much to it, there was some bitterness at the end, and I think some minimal "citrus", or maybe "green apple" like sweet taste to it before that - I think I was just thinking of it because the bottle was green. It finished very cleanly and kinda left me wanting more. This stuff was pretty watery and bland, buyt again that's the style, flavour is bad for light beer I guess, so it gets a 4 because it's exactly like it's light brethren.
Mouthfeel - a lot like perrier or tonic water or club soda, just water with some fizzy carbonation in it. Again, not very good, but it suits the style pretty darn well, so it gets a 4.
Drinkability - In line with my own tastes, it's only drinkable in the sense that it's so bland and watery it doesn't go down with any fuss. In short, if you or your girlfriend don't like tasting beer, but want to be social, buy this stuff. If you're looking for something that can be described as more than "beeresque", don't go near this stuff.

Promised myself I would never buy a 6er so when I found a single in the mix and match bin today I figured I'd give it one a whirl...
12oz bottle poured into my SA Perfect Pint (Not that it would help much)
A- I'm sorry did I buy a bottle of water?? This is THE lightest colored beer I've ever seen. Palest of straw yellow pours ever. Half finger head lasted for seconds and fizzled to nothing. Carbonation was erupting from the bottom of the glass.
S- Grass, yeast, corn faint dirty socks or old damp dishcloth.
T- Water, nothing really else. The grass and yeast are faint but that's about it...
M- Watery but carbonation kind of improves the feel.
D- I'm giving the drinkability a 3 on this for two reasons; one positive and one negative.
Pro - Watery, tastes like almost nothing so drinking these on a hot summer day would be refreshing.
Con - At $12.50 for a sixer of "premium light beer" just makes me want to vomit. If I'm going to spend that kind of money on a sixer I'd spend the extra $2.00 and get a 60 minute IPA or Dead Guy Ale.
I understand the macro companies are starting to shift some of their focus to "light" or "low calorie" beers but the price is outlandish for 6 bottles of basically Perrier.

Weak, not mild, but weak character, watery mouth feel, flavor is weak as well, barely detectable cereals but hops are indefinable, fast clean watery finish.
Perhaps it was unfair throwing this one into a tasting with large beers and fresh micro fare but I don't think I'm interested enough in this lame offering to give it another try.

D there's just nothing going on here, bland and boring
no reason to try this beer it's a waste of time and water

341ml bottle. I can't believe the marketing suits would approve any beer with 'canoe' in the name, given the old joke about this sort of thing. This brand has been cluttering up the bottom shelves of liquor stores everywhere for the past while, and is of the ilk that stops me from even considering buying any size in multiples. Ergo, selected from a downtown Indian restaurant's beer fridge, to go alongside the heat of a stellar lamb vindaloo.
This beer pours a clear, very pale straw colour, with three fingers of puffy, thinly foamy, and mostly soapy dirty white head, which leaves some random splattered and specked lace around the glass as it quickly falls away.
It smells of a very mild corn and grainy, um, 'sweetness', stale lemon, and a softly skunky, grassy, and weedy astringency. The taste is lightly sweet pale grain, a hint of creamed corn, faint weedy, cooked veggies, and is more watery-tasting than beery.
The carbonation is moderate, just enough to buoy this up beyond lethargy, the body a wan featherweight, and yet still somewhat cloying in its super-simple attempt at smoothness. It finishes just off-dry, the grainy sweetness sort of plodding on, while the various astringencies slowly disappear from the radar, one by one.
Best short description I can think of before my dinner gets cold: tainted water - nothing much else really going on here. If consuming with strongly flavoured cuisine, then at least this beer is wet, and thus 'drinkable', but hardly [Premium].

A very basic beer. Pours pale yellow, with quickly disapearing head. Aroma is marginally cheesy. Light mouthfeel, not burning, but not much above water. Marginally a feather of taste above the typical macros. Managd to drink one mouthfull, and poured the rest.

2 oz bottle from the lcbo- A clear and light sparkling gold, with a fizzy white cap. Nose of faint grassy hops and straw, some wet paper. tastes of very faint grassy hops and slightly sweet pale malts. Overly carbonated and quick on the finish. One of the least flavourful beers I have ever had. Pass.

Had this at the bar, figured what the hell. Pours the usualy typical pale straw colour, with little head. What head is there quickly disipates. Plenty of carbonation and bubbles. You can actually hear this beer. Smells alright. Bit of corn, grass, and lemon. Tastes alright. The typical light beer taste. Light sweetness, bit of grass, some grapefruits. Thin, fizzy mouthfeel. Drinkable like water, at first. But their is a catch. About two hours after drinking this, I had the worst case of the belches I've ever had. I would think I would need to vomit, go to the toilet, and let out loud and violent burps that scared the cats and angered the neighbours dog. I don't know if it was the beer itself, or a combination of what I've had to eat with it. But, since the food I've had before and never had this side effect, I'm thinking the beer is to blame. I would avoid to never have to deal with that nasty side effect again.

GLOVERSVILLE-The Gloversville Enlarged School District Middle School was put on lockdown around 12:15 p.m. today, a school official said, after rumors surfaced a student allegedly had a weapon in the school.
In a letter posted to parents on the district website, Superintendent Michael Vanyo said the lockdown lasted about 10 minutes, until administrators deemed there was no actual threat or weapon.
Vanyo also said the teachers and staff followed district protocol, keeping students inside classrooms and behind closed doors, until the lockdown was lifted.
"I am happy to report that no students or staff members were actually in danger," Vanyo wrote in the letter. "Be assured that we always take any threat of safety seriously."
City Police Chief Donald VanDeusen said this afternoon his department was not contacted regarding the temporary lockdown.

NewsMarlboro College Pays Tribute to Renaissance Tradition withthe Fencing Tournament
Marlboro, VT— Revel in a Renaissance tradition at the 14 th Annual Fencing Tournament on Sunday, December 5, at 1:30 p.m. in the Dining Hall of Marlboro College.
In the spirit of the Renaissance, skilled fencers will compete in a series of sword play and duels while their faithful supporters cheer them on, waving heraldic colorful banners. In keeping with this historic pasttime, the lords and ladies of the Marlboro campus, adorned in period costume, will be serenaded by minstrels and a harpist. Local royalty King Luis de Batlle, professor of music, and Queen Geraldine Pittman de Batlle, professor of literature and writing, will bestow awards to tournament champions. Since the first tournament was led by Joshua Pendragon in 1991, it has become an engaging Marlboro tradition.
This event is free and open to the public, but donations are accepted. For more information, contact fencing instructor and Vermont Renaissance Fair organizer Jodi Clark at (802) 258-9496.

works good for me.
This epoxy (the Slow setting black) was the perfect color for inlaying on my StewMac ebony fingerboard.
It set up slow enough that I was able to mix one batch large enough to glue in all 13 inlays, and still be able to move the inlays into their final position. The consistency of the glue was easy to work with, and filled all "gaps" easily. Once it was sanded down, it's virtually invisible.
Highly recommended!
I have not used this on any of my guitars yet but I did have to use some of it around the house the first day it arrived and it works really well on other plastics.
I ordered the slow setting clear epoxy to hold a couple carbon fiber rods in place in a guitar neck, and the stuff works great. It has a viscosity similar to that of honey or syrup, so it was easily spread to cover the entire cavity without flowing back to one end or the other.
A word of advice though... Be sure to use in WELL VENTILATED areas!!! the resin was not so bad but the hardener is one of the most foul smelling chemicals I've ever came across. It does dry scent free though :)
Excellent quality!!!
I've used this product for five years with excellent results. I like the slow setting time which allows for proper alignment of parts for clamping. I haven't noticed any shrinkage with it and it never has de-laminated.
I bought this epoxy so I could glue in the inlays I made for my ebony finger board. Well, this was my first time doing it and i was a little careless and my hands slipped making the cavity much larger than it needed to be. I glued in the inlay and after the epoxy dried and the inlay was sanded flush the mistake isn't even noticeable. (I used the slow setting black by the way)
I used black slow setting for gluing in necks onto a body
I use the fast setting mix for smaller jobs and the slower set for work requiring just a little more time to place the materials and set in place . Easy to use .
I have used many epoxies over the years. From the smallest of jobs to installing sledge hammer handles and this is some of the best I've used.

Back surgery ensures Howard saga is far from over in Orlando
Story Highlights
Dwight Howard is expected to miss four months after undergoing back surgery
His early exit this season may lead to his exit from Orlando entirely next season
His relationship with the Magic has soured and now teams will come calling
There goes Dwight Howard, gone for the season, gone for the playoffs, maybe gone from Orlando forever. Back surgery took care of the first two, a procedure to repair a painful herniated disk in his lower back that will likely sideline him for the next four months, while a freshly scorched relationship with the team could take care of the third. Sources close to Howard insist he never made the reported phone call to Magic owner Rich DeVos during last Friday's loss to Atlanta declaring his intention to never play for Stan Van Gundy again, though it doesn't change the fact that he has no interest in continuing to do it.
Howard believes Van Gundy lied when he told reporters he knew Howard asked for his dismissal because, a league source familiar with the situation said, he never specifically did. There is no love lost between Howard and Van Gundy but sources close to the All-Star center said it was Orlando's front office that first approached him about canning Van Gundy in December, before the Magic's season deteriorated.
LOWE: Magic no longer seriously playoff threats
Howard has not forgotten management's silence on the subject, it's refusal to either fire Van Gundy when he hung Howard out to dry or, at the very least, publicly disclose all the facts. Howard quieted rampant speculation about his future when he waived his opt-out clause last month, but there are indications that over the next few months the relationship could sour to the point where Orlando could be forced to explore dealing Howard again.
New Jersey will call, as the Nets try to salvage the plan to move to Brooklyn next season with Howard and Deron Williams in tow. After a surprisingly strong end to March, the Nets have gone 3-6 so far in April, shelving Deron Williams and Gerald Wallace over the last two weeks in what only appears to be an attempt to put themselves in better position to hold onto a protected pick that will be transferred to Portland if it doesn't fall in the top three. The Mavericks, Lakers, Clippers, Rockets and even the Heat, which could build a package around All-Star forward Chris Bosh, might get in the mix, too.
Teams will call and maybe, this time, the Magic will be more receptive. Relationships between a team and its superstar have gone south before (think Karl Malone and the Jazz, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers) only to eventually be repaired. But the Magic and Howard may have reached their breaking point. There is a part of Howard that wants to stay, that wants to continue being revered by a fan base that has supported him unflinchingly. He doesn't want to be LeBron James, but there are those close to him who say that the daily drama of the last month has bothered him so much that it is becoming increasingly more realistic that he could, again, ask to be moved.
The Magic understand they will never get equal value for Howard, who is owed about $19.5million next season, but consider this: What if New Jersey offers a pick that would yield Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist or Andre Drummond in a package that includes MarShon Brooks and more? What if the Lakers dangle Andrew Bynum and a sweetener? What if the Warriors, one of the few teams willing to take on Howard as a rental, offer Andrew Bogut and Stephen Curry?
Howard is a transcendent talent, a one-man offensive and defensive force, but with this soap opera reaching a Greek tragedy-like level and with the likelihood that next season will bring more of the same, moving Howard may become more appealing.
Some within the Magic thought Howard was exaggerating his back problems earlier this month. They thought it was a power play by a player who over the last eight years has been given nothing but power. It turns out it wasn't, that Howard's back was worse than anyone really knew. It's another wild turn in a wild storyline, one that likely won't be its last.

Narrow your search
Google has released an Android app to help you shorten URLs and provide insight as to who is clicking your links.
CNET editor Dong Ngo gives all his answers to questions about the basics of home networking.
Because who doesn't want their very own custom Google+ URL?
The president's social media accounts temporarily directed people who clicked on compromised links to a video titled "Syria facing terrorism."
Ever begin typing a URL, only to have Chrome autocomplete it with the wrong address? Here's a way to prevent that URL from showing up ever again.
The Web is a scary place where shortened links can take you to the darkest corner of the Internet.
The search engine's Transparency Report shows that takedown requests for piracy and copyright infringing URLs are increasing at a breakneck pace.
With a simple configuration tweak to Firefox, the browser will again display the full Web site addresses -- complete with the http:// prefix and the trailing slash -- in its URL bar.
By utilizing the URL as a universal and shareable address, this Stanford-backed startup wants to bypass poor city planning and help individuals and businesses find one another.
If you are suffering from repercussions after testing the file URL bug in Mountain Lion, then there are several things you can do.

Looking for a unique way to promote your next event? What about a 6-story-high golf ball?
StratoSphere, a translucent, transparent, illuminated balloon, features 2,000 square feet of floor space underneath — enough room to accommodate 250 people with room left over for a speaker's podium, band area, bar, or live entertainment. Absolute Hollywood (www.absolute-hollywood.net), a Houston-based outdoor entertainment/promotions firm, rents the balloon.Other balloons, some as small as 30 feet in diameter, come without bases so that they can fit inside an exhibit hall, and with revolving doors in the base so they can be used as a VIP lounge.
StratoSphere's marketing value lies not only in its size, but in the fact that sponsors' logos can be projected onto the inside of the balloon skin, while the outside can be designed with the dimpled look of a giant golf ball. To really gain attention, the huge ball can be made to look as if it's spinning.
The firm has designed balloons for events as diverse as the NCAA final four basketball tournament and the debut of the French-language Yahoo! Web site — where the balloon was climate-controlled for the chilly late November weather in Montréal. Rental costs average $20,000, depending on length of use and size. Companies can also sell advertising space to sponsors to recoup part of the rental cost and project their logos onto the sphere.
